Watching MNF and started thinking about the journeys of each player. Made me think.....what if you had to build and NFL franchise of current & retired players but could only pick players that were born or grew up in your home state?

​

I'm from Texas (duh), so I limited the list to people that were born in and played their whole high school career in Texas. Strahan was technically a military brat born in Germany but his family is from TX and he played high school and college ball in Texas, so it made sense to include him. Center, guard and tight end didn't feel the strongest. I focused on mostly on guys that were either HoF or close enough. Tried to mix old school and new school players but didn't dig that deep. If we can find more o-line depth, I like our chances being able to run the ball A LOT and then set up play-action. The defense is going to be nasty.........

For the love of God NFL, save us from the Zach Wilson slaughter of the McDaniels Raiders on prime time television. Here are a few potential games that can be flexed in place of this monstrosity:

Jaguars vs 49ers
Ravens vs Browns
Chargers vs Lions

McDaniels gets Jones back who had he success with during Jones rookie year and Bill finally gets his original heir to Brady back.

Per Tankathon, the only teams with easier remaining schedules are the Saints, Colts, and Falcons.

Easiest Remaining Opponents:

• Bears 2x

• Packers

• Broncos

• Chargers

Hardest Remaining Opponents:

• Vikings 2x

• Saints

• Cowboys

Meanwhile, the other top teams in the NFC:

• Eagles - 12th-hardest Remaining SoS

• Seahawks - 6th-hardest Remaining SoS

• 49ers - 7th-hardest Remaining SoS

• Cowboys - 4th-hardest Remaining SoS

AFC

1 Chiefs

2 Dolphins vs 7 Browns

3 Jaguars vs 6 Steelers

4 Ravens vs 5 Bills

NFC

1 Eagles

2 Lions vs 7 Vikings

3 Seahawks vs 6 49ers

4 Falcons vs 5 Cowboys

Would adding Brissett keep the Vikings in the playoff hunt? He's been wasting away on the Washington bench.

It is a wonder that he is still playing at this level at 33 years old when year after year his body is taking a beating being the league’s leader in tackles for several seasons.

Bruins - 90 games - 12 regulation losses

Record: 72-12-6 (6 losses in OT)

Patriots - 25 games - 14 regulation losses

Record: 10-15 (1 loss in OT)

Conclusion: Bruins good, Patriots bad.

The details here actually don’t really matter outside of Danielle Hunter being involved. This actually makes sense considering Jonathan Gannon’s familiarity with Hunter.

So, let’s assume the trade looks something like this:

Vikings give Danielle Hunter + a conditional 2nd

Cardinals give Kyler Murray + a conditional 4th

Kylers Cap hit for 2024 is 16m.

The Vikings currently have 7m in cap room.

Trading Hunter would create another 11m in cap room, leaving the Vikings with 18m in space, just enough to fit Kylers contract for 2024.

The Cardinals have about 11m in cap room, and would pick up around 8m of Hunters cap hit for 2024, leaving them with ~2m in cap room after the trade.

As crazy as this idea seems on the nose, it is actually super plausible if the Vikings determine Kyler is their guy past this season.

He looked phenomenal in his first start and I was really high on him during the draft. Seemed to have all the tools, but for some reason, he was just annihilated by the media, mostly for stupid stuff like mayonnaise or something. There seemed to be an almost vicious hatred for the guy largely on Twitter. Can someone explain? I swear on draft night, they cut to his face every time somebody was picked over him, like they just wanted to humiliate him.

These stats are extra impressive considering he started his career right before the pass explosion in the league.

Russell Wilson stats

Saw it live last night and I was in absolute tears for a good 10 straight minutes, does anyone know where I can find the play ? If you watched you know what play I'm talkin about, brother got absolutely flatlined LMAO

Total Cap Space: ~ 224.8M

Saquon Cap Hit: 10M (4.4%)

​

NYG Total Offensive Touches (Week 1-8): 405

NYG Total Offensive Touches When Barkley Plays: 291

Total Saquon Touches (Weeks 1/2/6/7/8): 129 (31.9% / 48.86%)

​

NYG Total Offensive Scrimmage Yards (8 Games): 2364 Yards

NYG Total Offensive Scrimmage Yards When Saquon Plays: 1593 Yards

Total Saquon Scrimmage Yards: 499 Yards (21.1% / 31.3%)

​

NYG Total Offensive TDs (8 Games): 9TDs

NYG Total Offensive TDs When Saquon Plays: 7TDs

Total Saquon TDs: 3TDs (33.3% / 42.9%)

​

NYG Total Offensive First Downs (8 Games): 111

NYG Total Rushing First Downs (8 Games): 45

NYG Total Receving First Downs (8 Games): 66

​

When Saquon plays he accounts for 48.86% of touches, 31.3% scrimmage yards, 42.9% of offensive TDs and 21.6%+ of offensive 1D but costs 4.4% of the total cap.

This is gonna be a fun second half of the season. The bills have looked sluggish, the chiefs played terrible yesterday and the bengals for some reason always start out slow so we’ll see. One team that has impressed me is the jags, i believe they are the best team in the AFC right now but it’s only the first half. Etienne is an absolute stud and I can see him getting 1st team all pro this year. Hope you’re all strapped in for the wild ride in the AFC this year. I’m picking Mahomes and Lawrence rematch in the afc championship.

EDIT: If Rodgers wouldn’t have gotten hurt, the jets would hands down be the best team in football right now.

There have not been a lot of good football games this year…like at all. The Jets/Bills week 1 stands out (which was more entertaining than actually good football but I’ll count it), Eagles/Commanders a few weeks ago was pretty great but like…I gotta rack my brain to find any real memorable games. There’s been so much bad offense, bad reffing, and just total blowouts it’s hard to even get invested in RedZone some weeks, let alone full games.

And with this kind of play it starts to make the bad stuff less forgivable like the insane amount of commercials and ridiculous reffing that stops what feels like every game at some point dead in its tracks. I’ll never stop paying attention, none of us will, but NFL Sundays are starting to feel less fun and more like an obligation.

27.3 PPG, 240 passing yards a game, 331 total yards, 3rd in EPA/play, and 6th in drop back EPA. The defense is 12th in EPA/play, 12th in drop back EPA, 10th in rush EPA, 16 PPG, and only 6 tds allowed.
